Ambiance Congo for Sunday February 15, 2009

This edition, I played a lot of LPs from Zaiko family artists and groups, not Zaiko Langa Langa, but artists who worked with Zaiko Langa Langa or in groups that were related. There was of course a whole lot more...a little bit of Wenge, a killer track from Lutmba Simaro and others.
We experienced a few technical problems at the station and the program was not recorded properly so this post will be a special one and it will be a little different. I hope that you'll enjoy it.



The album covers shown here are from the LPs played on this afternoon's program. The tracklist follows and at the bottom of this page is a link to a zip file that contains the songs played from these albums. Songs on CDs played are not included and are listed in smaller type.

Ambiance Congo for Sunday February 1, 2009

This edition, we'll listen to music from the 60s to today. Let's start off with two tracks from 1968. I also include this afternoon two requests that, coincidentally, refer to the influence that Congolese musicians have had on other people's music.

Here are a few of the LPs and CDs you can hear from on this program.
